a very strange situation here but. now we're back at you know thousands of tons of bombs are discovered every year as we said what makes this different. will the size of the poems to me it's a five hundred kilo bomb british and also the proximity to me it's a piece it is a regular occurrence i spoke to a bomb expert on the scene he said they find things almost every day but nothing of the size maybe once a year it was here they find something of this size but very very rarely so close to such a large of a bus amount of people and infrastructure so that's what makes it so different i mean the authorities really don't want to take any risks they face these bombs have exploded in the post a few years ago a man was killed in. two thousand and three and this was a. very big. thing. it is now the first to be the most refreshing.

things for that matter to be happening way up. there they could tell us more about how this is all affecting air traffic and train travel today because that is the central train station behind you. that's right for me it's pandemonium i mean he's really. going out with obese leads disrupting thousands of commuters primary season i'm a bit ridiculous to see me people leave. and today i want you to do the other stuff on the train. from the bank sometimes make sure you're round. park the car with me really make. you feel it is part of our conference dangers of you know i don't think it's quite an emotive it's probably. true from work even if it is full of people trying to get

thousand and sixteen election giuliani was also the chief prosecutor in manhattan in the one nine hundred eighty s. and memos written by the sacked f.b.i. director james comey detailed suppose that discussions with the president trump the material includes a claim that the russian president vladimir putin told trump russia has some of the most beautiful prostitutes in the world responding in a tweet trump says the memos show komi leaked classified information. here in berlin one of the suspects in an alleged anti-semitic attack has now turned himself into police authorities say he is a teenage asylum seeker who had been living in syria he was filmed attacking two young men who were wearing jewish roots jewish religious head coverings those men told the news they were wearing the kept us because they wanted to show a friend that it is safe to do so in berlin but police are investigating the attack as a hate crime. with this video of the alleged attacker address the outcry a friend announced that qana wants to turn himself into the police it comes after

the nineteen year old suspect was filmed apparently assaulting an israeli arab on the streets of berlin he jew in arabic the alleged attacker came to germany from syria and twenty fifteen and lives in a refugee center in the past year berlin has seen several anti-semitic incidents like this one a day when palestinians and their supporters demonstrate against israel protesters made anti-semitic statements and burned an israeli flag. the berlin based going to should have against anti-semitism visit schools to explain the subject including to students with immigrant backgrounds they warn against seeing anti-semitic attacks and specifically muslim. there's a specific group among muslims who are anti semitic. sometimes like in the present case they act in a particularly hateful way but i think that we should not stigmatize muslims.

rather we should try to convince them to fight against anti-semitism everything else is counterproductive. berlin has one of the largest arabic and muslim populations in germany you found mixed reactions among the community. as a human being i'm happy to live with christians and jews and muslims together but the jews in palestine are occupiers. not all jews occupy palestine so what does a boy who was born a jew have to do with it and the minister. we can't trust social media. there has to be an investigation and if they find that palestinians did this for this then i reject that as a muslim. the case has left many jews wondering whether they're safe in berlin. the summit of commonwealth heads of government is wrapping up in london later today

they're expected to make a decision on who should leave the organization after queen elizabeth the second the commonwealth is a group of countries most of which are former british colonies and with breaks it looming britain is trying to boost ties to the other member nations. glamorous festivities. big rates. and. the royal family has taken the beating role in britain's charm offensive. prince harry and at this stage in his new role as commonwealth ambassador i am also incredibly grateful that the woman that i'm about to marry meghan will be joining me in this work which she too is hugely excited to take part in. it was just under a year until corrected this is the stage on which britain wants to present itself as a global player part of a family of fifty three commonwealth. there's

a lot of synergy. british government and pakistani government involved together not only improve the relationship but also the economic relationships that i've always been a bit uncomfortable with the history of the commonwealth and so something that's meaningful and comfortable however i don't think i've ever felt more positive about the future of the commonwealth because i feel that there's a lot of positivity you can do here good morning everybody in the past the commonwealth focused mainly on promoting development and democracy now to research may want to reenergize the organisation and torn attention to boosting trade the commonwealth can lead to the world the commonwealth can spot our world and the commonwealth. the world i a vision that the canadian prime minister also support was offering to you kate and a deep relationship with the e.u. but also. many bricks of supporters believe that the network of mostly former british colonies holds the key to britain's future outside of the e.u.

and the potential issues after all commonwealth nations account for forty percent of the world's population but there are many barriers for example geographic proximity one reason why only nine percent of u.k. exports go to the commonwealth compared to forty four percent but go to the european union and many commonwealth countries have highly protected economies like india for instance prime minister modi wants visa restrictions lifted before agreeing on trade liberalization a hard sell to anti immigration protests following the brics it referendum suddenly the british government is paying attention to the organization and i'm afraid you know if the commonwealth has the future. we're in more trouble than i thought it really just isn't a properly functioning international organization it doesn't have a proper decision making process it doesn't have any kind of implementation

mechanisms among many young delegates there is an appetite to change that but only in the first place. you. seem to be green straw used to be the way to europe commonwealth leaders did not want the u.k. to leave. now their support will come at a price i you're watching did have you knew still to come former world number one tennis player novak djokovic is the man who used to be on the court. for highlights from his latest match at the monte carlo masters. and africa mobile new zealand this house is on his way through west africa with painters and sculptors on board we'll take a look at the highlights the highs and lows of life on the road in africa for contemporary artists. but first in zero tolerance that is the title of

a new series of documentaries focusing on asia the series will explore what is happening in the world's most populous continent as intolerance and religious fundamentalism on the rise we start our journey in bangladesh a wave of attacks by radical islamists has swept over the country in recent years many of the victims have been liberal bloggers apparently targeted for criticizing islam. as you did said dr university letting the had down the semester is over. just a few metres away is the spot where blogger average roy was murdered in february two thousand and fifteen the atheist writer was paying a visit to a duck us book fair while walking home with his wife he was attacked by radical islamists wielding machetes roy's father is heartbroken. the retired professor of physics his son of egypt was one of five secular bloggers murdered in two

thousand and fifteen three years later and none of his killers has been convicted average roy's father laced the greatest share of the blame with the government. to have a did you hear it. all. but . if this could get into which. really. anybody. thinks. the country has been governed by prime minister shake. since two thousand and nine once the ruling party stood for liberal values and a clear separation of state and religion nowadays it seems to show more sympathy to the murderous than the bloggers. which is only more and only life of the prophet some people are incensed.

we lose the ones that's our. us brought it on themselves the government claims to pursue a policy of zero tolerance against militancy while islamists are becoming increasingly assertive them addresses that considered by many to be breeding grounds of fundamentalists and most defies allowed teaches islamic sharia law and to koran school and duck contests repeatedly been accused of hate speech in this video he calls for the death penalty off a politician who criticizes paper images to mecca talking to a t w he explains why the islamic that. motto be in his nom de guerre is it the allah and the prophet. if you insult or abuse that. hot spot. so what could you do if you were hurt. pick up a weapon with them but know that it is love that does not permit the sword when it

comes to those who hurt you and make your heart. at least you can ask for their punishment. to have it. not only atheist bloggers but also artists and people of different faiths have been on depression bangladesh in early march there was yet another attack attack against a renowned writer and eminent scientist the motive of the young perpetrator he saw his victim as an enemy of islam. while our series of zero tolerance will get started here and tomorrow now some to go to your heart the global oil glut that has kept oil prices down of the faster yes god appears to be over as least as the reports of conclusion of a joint technical panel made up of members of opec and other all producing countries panel said an opec led agreement in place since january twenty fifth seventeen had helped over supply the wheat all prices hit the highest level in

nearly four years raising concerns. it's about inflation. so we all got over that was quick to call in frankfurt but does that mean for the old price in the near future. all investors are actually sure that the direction of the oil price will follow the trend we have seen happening lately and that is just one direction going up and that's actually giving investors here's quite some headache at the stock market very fast rising commodity prices make investors more war and about higher interest rates and more interest rate hikes mostly in the united states one investor told me a little bit earlier that with the higher oil prices the fed in the u.s. increased their interest rates higher and faster than expected higher interest rates are not famous among investors the rumor that those fears created even a correction lately on wall street investors feel that with higher interest rates for additional stocks and equities i'm not anymore that interested and that the

market therefore could have less liquidity. or north your price is always one of the indicators for the state of the world economy what are economists reading into the current developed. well it's certainly on the one hand an indicator for the worldwide economy and that's what also some investors here are telling me they're warry that with a very fast rising oil price that this could have a negative effect on the worldwide economy on the other hand it's also a very good indicator when investors on the worldwide trading floors are uncertain how or geopolitical situation could develop we have seen lately a very volatile oil price in the ongoing u.s. russia and syria conflict we have to remember that the oil price is a key factor also for the russian economy and also in political rather unstable situation investors are more focused on so-called safe haven gold swiss franc but also oil in the last days a situation has calmed down again a bit so today as

a result we have seen. also a dropping off the prize a barrel of oil was at a level of about seventy three dollars sixty one that's about twenty cents less and we have seen that in the days before side vessels are looking in the next days for more new is forming the opec making meeting in saudi arabia but also if those geopolitical conflicts might be heating up again. in frankfurt thank you. the international monetary fund to the world bank are having their regular spring meeting in washington both organizations are predicting strong growth for the global economy this year and i've had christine lagarde predict its growth of three point nine percent that's the fastest rate in eighty eight years so the outlook is quite upbeat at least in the short term reason it was a case of good cop bad cop i.m.f. chief christine legarde focusing on crumbling business confidence and gloomy projections while world bank president jim yong kim saw the current climate as an

opportunity to spread the money around the challenge now is to ensure that strong growth will translate into inclusive growth so that the benefits of global economic integration are enjoyed by all members of society but the ongoing china u.s. trade and lackluster productivity could ruin the upswing by as soon as twenty twenty lagarde warned earlier and then there's this. global that is at an all time high it stand it stands at two hundred and sixty four trillion dollars which is two hundred twenty five percent of g.d.p. off which the private sector accounts for two third. public debt in advanced economies is at levels not seen since the second world war the two lenders are clear short term the global economy is looking up but without immediate action stagnation and instability like i had the on the next couple of years.
